Home Office Cubicles

Panasonic's Komoru Helps to Separate Living & Working Spaces

— August 21, 2020 — Art & Design
Over the last few months, hundreds of thousands of people have made the shift to working at home and although they may have needed to come up with makeshift solutions at the start of lockdown, they may now be looking for more permanent in-home solutions like home office cubicles. Panasonic created a desk partition called Komoru that helps to offer some separation in a living space, since it can often be distracting to work in an open environment, especially if that place doubles as the home.

The partition offers a semi-private space for work and it comes with a simple desk to support work at home. On the outside of the boards, there's even room to decorate the perforated surface.
